When we asked Membership+ subscribers what they’d like to see us add to The Local, many called for the addition of games and puzzles.
We heeded the call and recently launched Games as part of Membership+. Whether you want to boost your Swedish skills, train your numerical brain, or test your news knowledge – we’ve got you covered.
For example, you can improve your Swedish with WordroW, where you get six guesses to reveal the word of the day. If you’ve ever played Wordle you’ll immediately grasp how it works. Every guess you make has to be a Swedish word so it’s really going to put your language skills to the test.
You can also deepen your understanding of Sweden with crossword puzzles, all of which will focus on aspects of life in Sweden, from the news to the country’s history and geography.
You can also search for Swedish lingo in a word search game, or why not put your logic to the test with a sudoku puzzle?
THE LOCAL GAMES: PLAY NOW
Note: Games can be played on The Local's mobile and desktop sites. They are not yet available in the app.

How Membership+ improves The Local's coverage
We’re always looking to invest more in covering the issues that matter to immigrants in Sweden and Membership+ gives us the stability we need to dig deeper into immigrants’ rights, work visas, residency permits and all the daily news that impacts all our lives here.
By joining Membership+ you’ll help further ensure that we can keep working with you to figure out the best ways to navigate life in Sweden, and hopefully enjoy ourselves along the way.
